Description

  The present invention relates to a functional sheet impregnated or coated with an active ingredient such as a fiber softener that can be removed with low-temperature water.

  When washing clothes, fibers, etc., general cleaning agents and adjuvants are used. The cleaning agent serves to separate foreign substances adhering to clothing or fibers and is removed together with the washing water.

  Unlike cleaning agents, there are auxiliary agents that perform certain functions by remaining in selections such as clothing after selection, for example, have the function of softening the fabric by restoring the texture of the fabric due to washing and restoring it to its original state Softener, antibacterial agent for preventing fabric deformation or spreading and propagation of bacteria, larvae, etc., antistatic agent for improving the feeling of wear by suppressing the generation of static electricity on the fabric that generates static electricity under the action of friction force Etc. Since such adjuvants fulfill their functions, they are used separately from the cleaning agents in the washing process. Laundry is usually carried out in the order of washing, rinsing, and dehydration after a predetermined waiting time is set simultaneously with the introduction of the cleaning agent. For example, such an adjuvant is used by being added at the time of final rinsing or drying after dehydration.

  As the washing agent for washing machines, a washing agent in pack units processed into a powder form is usually used, and a solid detergent can also be used at the time of hand washing. However, auxiliary agents such as softeners, antistatic agents, antibacterial agents, etc. are processed into liquids and packaged in bottles or containers. In particular, since many of the commercially available household softeners are liquid types, there is a problem that they are heavy in purchase and / or use, are expensive, inconvenient to administer, and difficult to use quantitatively.

  Unlike liquid fiber softeners used in the rinsing process of general washing machines, sheet-like fiber softeners for dryers that exhibit performance only at high temperatures of the dryer are on the market. As shown in FIG. 2, when the laundry is dried with a dryer, the moisture in the laundry is evaporated by heat to become high-temperature steam, and the laundry swells in an atmosphere of such high-temperature steam, The active ingredient is detached from the sheet by vaporization and friction from the sheet-like softener for the dryer, and is forcibly adsorbed to the fiber.

  The object of the present invention is a functional sheet impregnated with or applied with an active ingredient that adsorbs to clothes even after washing is completed, unlike a cleaning agent used for washing with water, It is an object of the present invention to provide a functional sheet that can be easily adsorbed on a second base material, because the active ingredient is easily detached from the sheet even with low-temperature water.

  In the present invention, when treated with washing water or rinsing water, the active ingredient is applied or the condition that water can easily permeate into the impregnated functional sheet is provided, so that it is effective on the sheet even in low temperature water. Components are easily desorbed.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is used by putting it in cold water at room temperature, particularly 0 ° C. to 30 ° C., coated or impregnated with at least one active ingredient on the first substrate. The active ingredient is physically or chemically adsorbed on the second substrate in the low-temperature water, and remains on the second substrate even after the low-temperature water is removed. And a substrate having a water contact angle of 90 ° or less was used as the first substrate, and was coated on the first substrate in room temperature, particularly low temperature water of 0 ° C. to 30 ° C. within 5 minutes. Or a functional sheet characterized in that 70% or more of the impregnated active ingredient is detached from the functional sheet.

  In the present invention, when treated with washing water or rinsing water, the active ingredient is applied or impregnated in the functional sheet impregnated, and the active ingredient is dispersed in water. By giving the conditions that can be facilitated, the active ingredient on the sheet is easily detached even in low-temperature water.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a functional product in which at least one active ingredient is applied on or impregnated on a first substrate, and is poured into low-temperature water at 0 ° C. to 30 ° C. The active ingredient is physically or chemically adsorbed on the second substrate in the low-temperature water and remains on the second substrate even after the low-temperature water is removed, The functional sheet has a light transmittance of 2 to 20%, whereby 70% or more of the active ingredient impregnated on the first base material in low temperature water of 0 ° C. to 30 ° C. within 5 minutes. Provided is a functional sheet characterized by detachment.

  According to the present invention, a functional sheet impregnated with or applied with an active ingredient such as a softener that adsorbs on clothes and exhibits a specific function even after washing is completed, the active ingredient on the sheet is effective even in low-temperature water. Since it is easily desorbed, distribution, storage and use are convenient, and the active ingredient can be quantitatively used.

It is the schematic which shows the performance expression mechanism of the functional sheet which concerns on one specific example of this invention. It is the schematic which shows the performance expression mechanism of the conventional sheet-like fiber softener for dryers. It is a figure which shows a water contact angle. It is a photograph which shows the water contact angle of a 1st base material. It is a photograph which shows the light transmittance of a 1st base material and a functional sheet. It is a graph which shows the result of the water permeability of the functional sheet | seat manufactured in Comparative Examples 2 thru | or 5 and Examples 4 thru | or 7, the removal rate, and the softening effect.

  In the present specification, the first substrate is a carrier or mediator for transferring an active ingredient to low-temperature water, and refers to a sheet that can be impregnated or coated with the active ingredient before use. .

  Further, in this specification, the second base material is an object that is intended to adsorb the active ingredient in low-temperature water, such as clothing or fibers, and is usually a laundry to be washed. Say.

Details of the present invention will be described below.
An active ingredient such as a softener is adsorbed on clothing even after selection is completed and exerts a specific function. Therefore, the softener is injected at the time of the final rinse, but the softener is kept at a low temperature during a short rinse time of about 5 minutes. Since it is necessary to disperse in water and be adsorbed by clothing, it is usually liquid. However, liquid softeners are problematic in that they are heavy and expensive to purchase and / or used, are inconvenient to administer, and are difficult to use quantitatively. Therefore, the present invention seeks to solve the problem of the liquid softener by providing the above active ingredient on a porous substrate by applying or impregnating it. The functional sheet coated with or impregnated with the active ingredient on the base material is mostly desorbed into the low-temperature water during the short rinsing time of 3 to 5 minutes, and the second base material For example, it needs to be adsorbed on the laundry.

  The present invention is applied or impregnated on the first substrate within 5 minutes with normal rinsing conditions, for example room temperature, in particular 0 ° C.-30 ° C., preferably 0 ° C.-25 ° C. cold water In order to provide a functional sheet from which 70 to 100% of the active ingredient can be removed, the first substrate is characterized in that a substrate having a water contact angle of 90 ° or less is used.

  The water contact angle means a contact angle (see FIG. 3) that is not absorbed by the surface due to the surface tension of water and is formed on the surface when it is dropped onto the surface (see FIG. 3). The contact angle varies depending on the characteristics, and the higher the surface hydrophilicity, the smaller the water contact angle.

  When a hydrophilic substrate having a water contact angle of 90 ° or less is used as the first substrate, the active ingredient is applied or impregnated into the functional sheet when treated with washing water or rinsing water. Penetration is easy, and the active ingredient on the sheet can be easily detached even in low-temperature water. Further, when the first substrate having a water contact angle exceeding 90 ° is used, the active ingredient cannot be stably applied or impregnated on the first substrate. Even if the active ingredient is forcibly fixed on the base material, the penetration of the low-temperature water is not easy, so that it is difficult to disperse the active ingredient from the first base material to the low-temperature water. Adsorption on the substrate is also difficult.

  Actually, in the non-woven fabric not treated with the hydrophilic emulsion, the water contact angle was 120 °. However, when the hydrophilic silicone surfactant was treated as a hydrophilic emulsion at a concentration of 50 to 100 ppm, the water contact angle was However, when using such a nonwoven fabric, the active ingredient was not stably applied to the nonwoven fabric, and the active ingredient was not sufficiently applied.

  The first base material having a water contact angle of 90 ° or less may be a sheet made of a hydrophobic polymer fiber and surface-treated with a hydrophilic emulsion, or a hydrophilic natural fiber itself, It can be a sheet made of a conductive polymer.

  The hydrophilic emulsion according to the present invention can impart hydrophilicity by changing the interfacial characteristics, and includes, for example, hydrophilic surfactants, and can be used as a hydrophilic emulsion by those skilled in the art. Can be easily selected. For example, when a non-woven fabric is used as the first substrate, a hydrophilic silicon surfactant can be used. The amount of the hydrophilic emulsion used depends on the type of the first substrate and the type of the hydrophilic emulsion, but it is usually used in the range of 0.01 to 20 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the first substrate. The amount of the hydrophilic emulsion used can be appropriately selected in order to repeat the experiment and achieve a water contact angle of 90 ° or less.

  The hydrophilic surface treatment means that a hydrophilic emulsion having a hydrophilic group is physically or chemically attached to a sheet made of polymer fibers.

  Examples of the hydrophilic group include, but are not limited to, sulfonate, sulfonic acid, carboxylate, carboxylic acid, phosphate, phosphoric acid, hydroxyl group (OH), and the like. Moreover, an inorganic polymer (for example, complex metal oxide) or organic polymer containing Si can be used as the hydrophilic emulsion. In order to further enhance the hydrophilic properties, the inorganic polymer can have a porosity, for example a hollow tubular porous structure.

  When the hydrophilic emulsion is a polymer, examples of the hydrophilic monomer include carboxylic acid group-containing ethylenically unsaturated monomers, sulfonic acid group-containing ethylenically unsaturated monomers, hydroxyl group-containing ethylenically unsaturated monomers, It is not limited to these. As the carboxylic acid group-containing ethylenically unsaturated monomer, carboxylic acid monomers such as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, itaconic acid and maleic acid can be used. As the sulfonic acid group-containing ethylenically unsaturated monomer, styrene sulfonic acid, naphthalene sulfonic acid and the like can be used. As the hydroxyl group-containing ethylenically unsaturated monomer, hydroxyalkyl methacrylates having 1 to 12 carbon atoms in the alkyl group are preferable, and hydroxyethyl methacrylate, hydroxypropyl methacrylate, hydroxybutyl methacrylate, or the like can be used.

  The hydrophilic surface treatment is a method of applying a coating liquid containing the hydrophilic emulsion to a substrate, for example, dip coating, die coating, roll coating, comma coating, doctor blade, spraying, gravure printing, or a mixing method thereof. Can be used. The coating can be performed once or twice. If necessary, a coated film can be formed by applying a normal heating and drying method after coating.

  The first substrate having a water contact angle of 90 ° or less is preferably a porous substrate. When an active ingredient is applied to or impregnated into a porous substrate, the surface area of the active ingredient is increased to facilitate desorption from the substrate and dispersion in low-temperature water, and the desorption and dispersion time of the active ingredient. Can be shortened. In addition, the functional sheet to which the active ingredient is applied or impregnated has an optimum porosity per unit area, thereby further facilitating the penetration of low-temperature water into the functional sheet, and the active ingredient Can fully exhibit the water dispersibility. In addition, since the functional sheet manufactured to maintain the pore structure even after the active ingredient is applied or impregnated has a large specific surface area of the active ingredient, the active ingredient is easily detached from the low temperature water. It becomes like this.

  In addition, the present invention is effective in impregnating the first substrate with normal rinsing conditions, for example, room temperature, particularly 0 ° C. to 30 ° C., preferably 0 ° C. to 25 ° C. of low temperature water within 5 minutes. In order to provide a functional sheet from which 70 to 100% of the components are released, the feature is that the porosity of the functional sheet is adjusted so that the light transmittance is 2 to 20%, preferably 5 to 10%. is there.

In particular, the functional sheet preferably has a porosity of 2 to 20% in light transmittance while the impregnation amount or coating amount per unit area of the active ingredient is 0.1 to 20 mg / cm ² .

  In the present invention, the light transmittance is calculated by the light transmission area with respect to the total area in the functional sheet impregnated with the active ingredient or applied to the first base material. The light transmittance is calculated on the assumption that the functional sheet or the first substrate is light-impermeable.

  Since the functional sheet or the first substrate does not have uniform pores, the light transmittance varies depending on the measurement location. Therefore, the light transmittance is preferably obtained as an average light transmittance of the entire functional sheet or the first substrate. For example, a 1 mm diameter circle is sampled and its light transmittance is calculated. Twenty of these are calculated randomly, and the average value is obtained. In the calculation of the light transmittance, the joint point of the nonwoven fabric is excluded from the measurement of the light transmittance area. This is because water cannot substantially penetrate at the joining point.

  The light transmittance corresponds to an area in which water can be contacted, and corresponds to a porosity at which water can permeate when the functional sheet is immersed in water, that is, water transmittance. When a functional sheet impregnated with an active ingredient is immersed in water and its porosity or water permeability is directly calculated, the active ingredient is detached and an accurate porosity or water permeability cannot be measured. By measuring the rate, the porosity or water permeability through which water can penetrate is predicted.

  If the light transmittance of the functional sheet according to the present invention is 2% or more, water is easily attracted during washing or rinsing, and the active ingredient applied on the first substrate can come into contact with water. The specific surface area is increased, and the active ingredient on the first substrate is easily desorbed even with low-temperature water. However, when the light transmittance of the functional sheet according to the present invention is less than 2%, the active ingredient is not dispersed in water by touching water, and when it exceeds 20%, an active ingredient such as a fiber softener is present. The first substrate cannot be impregnated to such an extent that the function can be sufficiently exerted.

In the present invention, the low-temperature water includes not only water but also an aqueous solution and an aqueous dispersion.
Moreover, the functionality which 70% or more of the active ingredient apply | coated or impregnated on the 1st base material within 5 minutes to room temperature, especially 0 to 30 degreeC low temperature water under stirring remove | deviates. Sheets are also included in the scope of the present invention.

  Examples of the active ingredients that exhibit specific functions by being adsorbed on clothes after completion of washing include, for example, softeners, fragrances, antistatic agents, stabilizers, coloring agents, antiseptics, antibacterial agents, electrolytes, Examples include, but are not limited to, optical brighteners and bleaching agents.

  In order to make the light transmittance of the functional sheet 2 to 20%, the first substrate is preferably a porous substrate, and the light transmittance of the first substrate itself is It is preferable that it is 20 to 50%. When the porous substrate is impregnated with or coated with an active ingredient, the specific surface area of the produced functional sheet is also increased to facilitate the removal of the active ingredient from the porous substrate and dispersion in low-temperature water. In addition, the desorption and dispersion time of the active ingredient can be shortened. In addition, by allowing the functional sheet impregnated with the active ingredient or having the optimum porosity per unit area to the applied functional sheet, the flow of low-temperature water into the functional sheet is further facilitated, and the effective sheet The water dispersibility of the component can be sufficiently exhibited. In addition, a functional sheet that is impregnated with an active ingredient or that maintains a pore structure even after being applied has a large specific surface area of the active ingredient, and the active ingredient is easily detached from low-temperature water. can do.

  As the first base material, natural materials such as cotton, hemp, linen and silk, rayon, cellulose ester, polyvinyl derivatives, synthetic materials such as polyolefin, polyamide or polyester, or paper can be used. .

  The first substrate may be a woven fabric or a non-woven fabric. The first substrate is a non-woven fabric produced by heat bonding, air-through, spunbond or meltblown at least one polymer fiber selected from the group consisting of polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene, nylon, rayon, pulp and acrylic It is preferable that The material of the first substrate is preferably polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), or polyethylene terephthalate (PET). This is because it is not only low in price but also has excellent stability and less fluff generation after washing when commercialized. Since the functional sheet of the present invention is used in low-temperature water, unlike the sheet-like fiber softener for dryers, the first substrate does not require heat resistance at high temperatures.

  Further, from the viewpoint of reducing the bulk during distribution, the functional sheet needs to be easily folded to reduce the bulk, and therefore the first base material preferably has flexibility.

  The fineness of the polymer fiber forming the first substrate is preferably 1 to 10 denier, more preferably 3 to 7 denier. This is because the active ingredient and / or low-temperature water can be easily impregnated by the capillary action in the space between the fibers within the fineness range described above.

The basis weight means mass (g) per 1 m ² , and the basis weight of the first base material can be 10 to 100, preferably 15 to 50. If it is less than 10, the impregnation amount or coating amount of the active ingredient is not sufficient, and if it exceeds 100, the water penetration space is remarkably reduced, making it difficult to produce a product, and the first substrate itself is excessively large. Become heavier.

  In order to form the active ingredient into a sheet form, the active ingredient is preferably liquid at 60 ° C. or higher, and solid at room temperature, particularly 30 ° C. or lower. In order to perform smooth impregnation or coating in the production process, it is preferably liquid at high temperatures, particularly 60 ° C. or higher, and it is necessary to maintain the form without flowing active ingredients during storage. Preferably there is. This is because when a porous base material such as a nonwoven fabric is impregnated or coated with a liquid active ingredient at room temperature, it becomes slippery and it is difficult to form a dosage form.

The functional sheet activated with low-temperature water according to the present invention can adjust the application amount or impregnation amount of the active ingredient to 100 to 500 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the first base material. It is preferable to adjust to 400 parts by weight. That is, the impregnation amount or application amount of the active ingredient per unit area in the functional sheet can be 0.1 to 20 mg / cm ² . On the other hand, the sheet-like fiber softener for high-temperature dryers has a small amount of applied active ingredient.

  In the case where the active ingredient is a softening agent, in order to facilitate the release of the softening agent from the first substrate at the time of low-temperature water rinsing, for example, from a cationic surfactant represented by the following chemical formulas 1 to 3 A softener selected from the group consisting of can be used.

Hereinafter, in order to assist the understanding of the present invention, preferred examples will be described. However, these examples are merely illustrative of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
<Experimental example>
Using a contact angle measuring device (manufactured by KRUSS, FM40, EASY DROP), 30 gsm high density polypropylene spunbond non-woven fabric (a), 15 gsm low density polypropylene spunbond non-woven fabric (b), hydrophilic silicon surfactant 5,000 ppm The water contact angle was measured for the 30 gsm high-density polypropylene spunbonded nonwoven fabric (c) that had been subjected to hydrophilic treatment in Fig. 4, and the experimental results are shown in Fig. 4.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the polypropylene non-woven fabrics (a) and (b) not subjected to hydrophilic treatment had a water contact angle of about 120 °. On the other hand, in the polypropylene nonwoven fabric (c) subjected to hydrophilic treatment, all water droplets dropped on the surface were absorbed, and measurement of the water contact angle was impossible (water contact angle: 0 °).

Comparative Example 1, Examples 1 to 3
Using a first substrate having a water contact angle as shown in Table 1 below, a composition for impregnating the substrate with each active ingredient and content shown in Table 1 is manufactured, and press coating and cooling processes are performed. After that, a functional sheet was manufactured. When press coating was performed, the temperature of the composition for impregnating the substrate was 60 ° C. (liquid), and the cooling temperature was 25 ° C.

  The first substrate used in Comparative Example 1 is a polypropylene spunbonded nonwoven fabric that has not been subjected to a hydrophilic surface treatment, and the first substrate used in Examples 1 to 3 is a hydrophilic silicon surfactant. It is a polypropylene spunbonded nonwoven fabric that has been subjected to hydrophilic treatment by changing the amount used.

  The water absorption rate of each nonwoven fabric used as the first base material in Comparative Example 1 and Examples 1 to 3 described above was obtained by immersing the nonwoven fabric in low-temperature water at 20 ° C. for 5 minutes for water saturation, and then water saturation treatment. The weight difference between the front and rear nonwoven fabrics was measured and calculated by dividing by the weight of the nonwoven fabric before treatment.

Performance evaluation was performed by the below-mentioned experimental method with respect to each functional sheet manufactured in Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1. The results are shown in Table 2.
Experiment 1: Solubility test For each functional sheet produced in Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1, the solubility and dispersibility of the active ingredient in low-temperature water were measured. Pour 3 liters of low-temperature water at 20 ° C. into a beaker, put each of the functional sheets and stir for 5 minutes, then measure the difference between the weight of the functional sheet before treatment and the weight of the dried functional sheet after treatment Thus, the solubility of the active ingredient was measured, and such solubility measurement was repeated three times or more.

Experiment 2: Softness effect test A commercially available 100% pure cotton towel was repeatedly washed in a washing machine 5 times using a general laundry detergent, and then dehydrated. Next, the dehydrated pure cotton towel is put into rinsing water (bath ratio 1:30, 25 ° C.) together with each functional sheet produced in Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1, and subjected to a softening treatment for 5 minutes. Performed, dehydrated, and conditioned under conditions of 20 ° C. and 65% RH for 24 hours. Then, the degree of softening was scored by sensory evaluation of a skilled panelist to give 1 to 5 points, and this was repeated three times or more, and the softening effect was measured by the average value.

Experiment 3: Absorbency test A standard cotton cloth was cut into a size of 2 × 15 cm in the direction of warp and weft, then subjected to a softening treatment in the same manner as in Experiment 2, and conditioned at 20 ° C. and 65% RH for 24 hours. The test piece was suspended vertically using a clamp and a weight, and then the end of the test piece was immersed in an aqueous solution in which a water-soluble blue dye was diluted to 0.1%. Measured after minutes. After repeating this 3 times or more, the absorption effect was evaluated by the average value.

Experiment 4: Antistatic property test (half-life)
The constant voltage leak rate was measured for each test piece that was subjected to the softening treatment in the same manner as in Experiment 4 and conditioned for 24 hours at 20 ° C. and 65% RH. After applying an initial voltage of 150 V using a KS K-0555A experimental method and an electrostatic voltmeter (Rothschild, Switzerland), the constant voltage leak rate was measured at the time when the voltage was halved. After repeating this three times or more, the average value was determined.

Experiment 5: Evaluation of residual fragrance A panelist evaluated a pure cotton towel subjected to softening treatment in the same manner as in Experiment 1 on the basis of 5 points. After repeating this three times, a score was obtained.

  As can be seen from Table 2 above, the functional sheet using the first base material having a water contact angle of 120 ° which was not subjected to the hydrophilic treatment was different, and the first base material was subjected to the hydrophilic treatment according to the present invention. Since the functional sheet with a water contact angle of 90 ° or less is excellent in absorbability and solubility in low-temperature water, the softening effect of the active ingredient impregnated in the functional sheet, the residual scent The effect and antistatic properties are sufficiently exhibited.

Comparative Examples 2 to 5 and Examples 4 to 7
20 parts by weight of esterquat (EQ, Chemical Formula 2) as a fabric softener, 20 parts by weight of glycerol monostearate as a dosage form dispersant, 2 parts by weight of polyoxyethylene sorbitan ester Tween-81 (HLB10) as an emulsifying dispersant, auxiliary An impregnation composition was prepared using 10 parts by weight of stearamidopropyldimethylamine as a softening agent and 10 parts by weight as a fragrance. Further, a 30 gsm polypropylene spunbonded nonwoven fabric was used as the first base material.
A functional sheet was manufactured through a press coating and cooling process. During press coating, the temperature of the impregnating composition was 60 ° C. (liquid), and the cooling temperature was 25 ° C.

  In the functional sheets of Comparative Examples 2 to 5 and Examples 4 to 7, the coating amount on the first substrate is adjusted by the distance between the first roller and the second roller used during press coating. The light transmittance was adjusted as shown in Table 3 below.

<Light transmittance measurement method>
As the first base material, the light transmittance of 15 gsm of polypropylene spunbond nonwoven fabric, 30 gsm of polypropylene spunbond nonwoven fabric, 30 gsm of PET spunbond nonwoven fabric, and Comparative Examples 2 to 5 and functional sheets of Examples 4 to 7, Measurements were made as described below.

  The first base material and each functional sheet were analyzed with an image analyzer (manufactured by Nippon Hirox, Hi-scope KH-2400, × 200, distance between joint points: 1 to 2 mm), and a circle with a diameter of 1 mm. The light transmittance was measured in terms of the light transmission area relative to the total area. This light transmittance is a value obtained by randomly sampling 20 measurement units and calculating an average. In the calculation of the light transmittance, the joint point of the nonwoven fabric itself was excluded from the calculation.

  The upper part of FIG. 5 shows the light transmittance of a 15 gs polypropylene spunbond nonwoven fabric, a 30 gsm polypropylene spunbond nonwoven fabric, and a 30 gsm PET spunbond nonwoven fabric, and the lower part of FIG. 5 is coated with the impregnation composition. The later light transmittance was shown. The light transmittances of the functional sheets according to Comparative Examples 2 to 5 and Examples 4 to 7 are shown in Table 3 and FIG.

<Desorption rate measurement method>
For the functional sheets produced in Comparative Examples 2 to 5 and Examples 4 to 7, the solubility and dispersibility of the active ingredients in low-temperature water were measured. Pour 3 liters of low-temperature water at 20 ° C. into a beaker, put each of the functional sheets and stir for 1 minute, then measure the difference between the weight of the functional sheet before treatment and the weight of the dried functional sheet after treatment Thus, the desorption rate of the active ingredient was measured, and this was repeated three times or more. The results are shown in Table 3 and FIG.

<Flexible effect measurement method>
A commercially available 100% pure cotton towel was repeatedly washed in a washing machine 5 times using a regular laundry detergent and then dehydrated. Next, the dehydrated pure cotton towel is put into rinsing water (bath ratio 1:30, 25 ° C.) together with one functional sheet produced in Comparative Examples 2 to 5 and Examples 4 to 7, and softened for 1 minute. And dehydrated and conditioned for 24 hours at 20 ° C. and 65% RH. Then, the degree of softening was scored by sensory evaluation of a skilled panelist to give 1 to 5 points, and this was repeated three times or more, and the softening effect was measured by the average value. The results are shown in Table 3 and FIG.

  The light transmittance of the functional sheet means an area that can be contacted with water. As shown in Comparative Example 2, when the light transmittance of the functional sheet is less than 2%, it is an active ingredient even if it touches water. As shown in Comparative Examples 3 to 5, when the light transmittance exceeds 20%, the desorption rate of the active ingredient is 99% or more, but the flexibility effect is low, It can be seen that the fabric softener does not sufficiently impregnate the nonwoven fabric.
